Minor issue, but if you don't set a `NAME` in `settings.DATABASES` for a
db with the `postgresql_psycopg2` backend, you get the following error:
`You need to specify NAME in your Django settings file.`
I've seen this confuse at least two people (resulting in them trying to
set `settings.NAME`...!) so propose a change to:
`You need to specify the database NAME in your Django settings file.`
in a similar style to the sqlite3 backend.
